No, ban anything that could be unfair to young kids. Not all contests in general, but DTAs where you could win something that could mean a lot to you.

Still no support. Any sort of contest could be unfair to young kids, since (and this is generally speaking, sorry if I offend anyone) most of the time, young kids are less skilled. And unless you're actually losing something (like you bet money, which is not allowed on Scratch), not earning the prize shouldn't matter- lots of people enter a contest, and very few people (or sometimes just one person) end up winning the prize. Not getting the prize shouldn't be that big of a deal considering it's something that happens all the time.

They may be more sensitive to losing an object instead of a prize like an adopt.

If objects are more important than adopts, then why are we having this convo?

What in the world is with the little uploads and advertising on the posts.

Drawing tablets are a tablet that can be drawn on with a tablet pen to draw on a paint program.

They are called signatures. Just scroll down the bottom of the main discussion page, then click “Change My Signature”, or just click on https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/settings/Mapleshade10

Those are called signatures. They are a little piece of text, a picture, etc. that is added at the bottom of each of your posts. It is a great way to advertise your projects, express your style, or just joke around. For example, my signature is a short scratchblocks script full of weird, nonexistant blocks as a joke. You can make your signature whatever you want (as long as it meets the community guidelines). To change your signature, on the main topic page, scroll down and click on the button that says “Change your signature.” However, be warned- your signature has a limited length. After that, your signature is cut off.

The height limit is 150px.

No support. It's basically an art contest with a prize.

I don't see it that way, but whatever.

We're allowed to express our opinions. since this is the Suggestions forum. Nobody is right or wrong.
P.S No support, contests are contests and if they don't appreciate somebody, use Contact Us.
Also, here's something: You can only get fame, but not win it. People just have to choose. Same with prizes. (It applies to all contests in general)

Don't Caps/Exclamation Point Spam pls.
Anyways, we're able to express our opinion. To not post your opinion is like having an election and only counting votes from one party.
You haven't even replied to my posts yet.

So we shouldn't post anything if we have different opinions?

Indeed you are allowed to have different opinions, and to voice it out, but shouldn't everyone calm and tone it down a little, and stop being over-sarcastic? .-.

I'm getting the impression that this isn't really a suggestion, just more a debate on whether or not you like “Draw to Adopt” projects. So I'm going to close this thread on those grounds.

I will mention on a side note:

When you upload something to Scratch, it becomes available for everyone. So anyone is free to draw to adopt, and there can be multiple adopters here, not just one.
